Mathilde Maîtrot is a Lecturer in International Development and Global Social Policy at the University of York and a member of the Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre (IGDC). She is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the Global Development Institute where she completed her PhD examining the social performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) in Bangladesh. In a 2018 article published in Development and Change, Maîtrot examines the emergence of a ‘practice drift’ at the branches of MFIs that, among other things, affects loan allocation, targeting, repayment methods, and loan use.
